\u201cMany jobs will disappear forever,\u201d he said, in his first lengthy piece on AI in three years. \u201cI believe that as AI and robots improve, we\u2019ll set aside certain things for only people to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve started calling this domain human reserved. I like the phrase human reserved because it makes me think of nature reserves \u2013 places where we could put buildings and roads, but we choose not to because the loss would be too great.\u201d<\/p>\n
He cited examples including the health professionals who cared for his father, who died of Alzheimer\u2019s disease six years ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomething in the care they gave my dad was irreplaceably human, no robot could or should have done it,\u201d he said. \u201cImagine a robot giving you the awful news that you have an incurable disease. There\u2019s no technical reason why it couldn\u2019t. Yet it shouldn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wednesday\u2019s essay is one of Gates\u2019s first major public interventions since he became embroiled in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. An external review commissioned by the Gates Foundation found last month that there had been about 30 meetings<\/a> between Epstein and foundation leaders and staff \u2013 including Gates \u2013 between 2011 and 2014.<\/p>\n Gates, who has not been accused of involvement in Epstein\u2019s crimes, remains the chair of his $89bn (\u00a365bn) charitable foundation and previously said he regretted \u201cevery minute\u201d he spent with the sex offender.<\/p>\n Gates warns in his essay that governments are not prepared for the scale of the impact of AI.<\/p>\n \u201cThe highest priority is a monumental task: creating a domestic and international framework for dealing with AI,\u201d he wrote. \u201cAfter the attacks of 9\/11 the US government went through its biggest reorganisation since World War II for the purpose of improving just one function, national security.<\/p>\n \u201cAI will require much, much more. It will affect national security as well as employment, education, taxation, energy, elections, air and water, public health, the financial system, law enforcement, transportation, public lands and IT systems.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is fair to wonder whether the world\u2019s institutions are up to the task of designing and implementing this new architecture.\u201d<\/p>\n
